Did you know the Annual Investment Allowance (AIA) has been temporarily increased from £200,000 to £1,000,000 for a two year period (1st January 2019 to 31st December 2020)? For qualifying plant and machinery, the Annual Investment Allowance allows businesses to claim 100% tax relief in the year of purchase. This increase takes the allowance to its highest level since its introduction in 2008, so there has never been a better time to invest! Businesses do not necessarily ne...ed to pay for the assets outright, in most cases they can be financed and the full allowance still claimed. This is an excellent opportunity for businesses to take advantage of the £1,000,000 allowance (£2,000,000 over the 2 year period) before it reverts back to a much lower level in January 2021.

We have recently installed two CNC plasma cutting machines in our showroom...
The one on the left is the HDPX High Definition CNC model, fitted with the new revolutionary Hypertherm XPR300 plasma system. These machines offer industry leading cut quality across a range of materials and cutting thicknesses. XPR plasma cutting delivers faster cut speeds, higher quality cuts, increased consumable life, quicker set up time, and reduced operating costs compared to standard high d...efinition plasma systems. https://www.bisonmachinery.co.uk/…/morg an-rushworth-hdpx-h…/
Or, if you're looking for simple, accurate cutting of sheet material up to 25mm mild steel capacity, the machine on the right might be better suited for you. The CP model is equipped with the class leading Hypertherm Powermax range of power sources utilising single gas technology of either air or nitrogen, together with an operator friendly Windows based CNC controller. https://www.bisonmachinery.co.uk/…/morg an-rushworth-cp-com…/

Advantages of Geared Head Auto Feed Drilling Machines A geared head pillar drill with automatic spindle feed is a valuable addition to most workshops. This design allows the rapid selection of spindle speeds via levers on the front of the machine saving time over traditional belt drive changes. Automatic feed allows deep holes or holes through large sections to be drilled automatically, without operator intervention. So what other features should be considered if purchasing a machine of this type?

The Morgan Rushworth SBR Powered Bending Rolls have a rugged, heavy duty, cast iron frame ensuring a long working life and are used for applications up to a maximum material thickness of 5.0mm, subject to the individual model capacity. The asymmetric design provides pre-bending capability on the machine and the top slip roll allows removal of cylindrical components.

Bump Bending A Radius Using A Press Brake Are you using bending rolls to form a radius in sheet or plate material? This is by far the easiest option if you are rolling a full cylinder or a partial segment, but what about if you need a curve between two flat parts with accurate dimensions? When rolling a partial radius between two flat parts, even a small amount of over rolling can spoil the component, therefore the start and stop points of the curve need to be carefully contr...olled. This can be quite difficult to achieve manually using bending rolls and the part typically needs comparing to a template and tweaking until the desired result is achieved. Producing this job on a press brake using radius bending - otherwise known as bump bending - is quick and easy to program and can be controlled precisely.

Automatic Sawing with Programmable Mitre Cutting For many years fabricators have proved the benefit of automatic saws to produce small parts from long bar stock. Setting an automatic bandsaw to cut 100 off 25mm long components is a massive productivity boost when compared to an operator producing these manually. Many saws however are set up for 90 degree - or straight cutting - only. So what are the options if mitred components are required?

The Morgan Rushworth mVision Press Brake offers a completely new level of interaction and connectivity between the machine and the operator!
Complex 3D products are unfolded in the machine software and projected on to the folding beam of the press brake, while life size tooling profiles appear above the actual tools ensuring the correct set up is achieved every time.

The heavy construction and quality finish of the Sterling SRC range of circular sawing machines is outstanding. Models with 275, 315 and 350mm diameter blades are offered as not only the standard pull down version – with or without a pneumatic vice system – but also in a fast cutting semi-automatic design for production cutting. Double clamping and self-centring vices ensure material is always securely clamped in the optimum cutting position.

Benefits of an NC Controlled Bending Rolls The Morgan Rushworth 4 Roll Hydraulic Plate Bending Rolls are a proven success story with many successful installations around the world. The addition of an NC control allows a skilled operator to program a job ready for production by any trained personnel.
Multiple curves of different radii with or without straights can be programmed for repeat bending operations. Alternatively operators can bend in the usual way and the NC records ...all roll movements into a program which can later be edited.
